subject: Callaway Ft-iq Driver Feels Controllable And Good To Swing [print this page] As for golf clubs I'll be sold on CallawayAs for golf clubs I'll be sold on Callaway. Im not terribly keen on the original Diablo which I'm sure will be usurped, surpassed and become outdated with the launch of the new cheap diablo edge driver in a few weeks time. Callaway Golf have pushed all boundaries with the new Callaway FT-iQ Driver.
I love the Callaway club so much that I just replaced my old irons with the Callaway X-24 Irons. The distance by FT-iQ is increased obviously, for the side spin has drastically been reduced and the ball flys further. You can work the ball. I strengthened my grip by a 1/2 inch and I got a draw. It seems to me to be very easy to do so. On mis-hits, it will give you feedback as your faults without shaking the club out of your hands but at the same time. The ball will still go relatively straight with a good amount of distance.
Very happy with the ball flight, sound and feel of the club. The sound at impact is a 'pop', louder than the muted feedback of the cheap FT-9 Driver. Distance is good-- similar to the Titleist, the FT-9 may be a touch longer. The sound is solid, not tinny, and it feels good to swing. It feels very controllable. Like all Callaway clubs, you need a smooth swing. If you are quick on the backswing and through the ball, the club and shaft don't like it. Hard to tell if the distance is any better because of the range balls, and it being 40 degrees outside.
That is all you can enjoy from best price drivers. When you hit it well, the ball travels straight and long. There is a satisfying metalic ping, which is not to loud or annoying. The feel of a clean hit is outstanding. When you don't hit it well, it still generally travels straight and long. What really helps me out though is that there is little side spin generated, meaning no balls that start somewhat straight only to begin slicing off violently. Almost to the point if you have a wicked slice like I do, you begin to stare at the club with reverence and awe.
Hyperbolic shaping is the cutting edge of the Callaway FT-iQ Driver face design - mathematics and engineering combine to create Callaways highest ever ball speeds across the entire face. Maximum perimeter weighting and more discretionary weight are created by combining a carbon composite body with the titanium face cup, allowing for precise positioning of the CG (center of gravity) to generate the straightest drives possible.
